Sunscreen Bootcamp: Body

Now that the weather is nice and you can actually go outside and walk around during your lunch hour and no longer have to be covered up from neck to toe, using sunscreen daily on your body is just as important as your face. You'd be surprised how easy it is to catch up a burn simply by walking from the office to the deli. Read on for my favorite body moisturizer plus SPF combos that are light and greaseless for daytime.

Vaseline Protecting Body Lotion with Aloe and Sunscreen offers SPF 15 protection, perfect for incidental exposure, combined with the refreshing and moisturizing benefits of aloe. It's also lightweight and absorbs easily.

Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion with SPF 15 is clinically shown to moisturize for 24 hours and provides both UVA and UVB protection. Natural Colloidal Oatmeal soothes irritated skin and the non-greasy formula contains no fragrance.


Since the thought of spending the summer pasty white basically makes me want to die, there's no reason you can't have a little (faux) color while still protecting your skin from the sun's rays. Neutrogena Summer Glow Daily Moisturizer SPF 20 softens skin, has a light fresh scent and gradually provides a healthy looking glow.
Remember, these are just for daily, incidental exposure. My favorite beach body sunscreen is Coppertone Continuous Spray since it's light, non-greasy and provides a quick, even application.
